To the surprise of no one a new investigation shows that carbon air capture company Climeworks is unable to offset even its own operations, let alone their clients.

And mind you that this is in Iceland, where these plants run on 100% renewable electricity.

Climeworks’ capture fails to cover its own emissions

The carbon capture company Climeworks only captures a fraction of the CO2 it promises its machines can capture. The company is failing to carbon offset the emissions resulting from its operations – which have grown rapidly in recent years.
